2 regular portions in one (extra strong)

[Mazur]

I do not know it such idea appeared before, but maybe not.

I use regular portions. One day I left with Extra Strong only and I do not like strong. So I cut portion in twice and use only half at once.

So my idea is - why not to manufacture strong portions that can be divided in two by user? I do not think it is a problem technologically.

Profits for regular portions users - 48 portions in can instead of 24, without any additional taxes. (with 48 mini - manufacturer will be taxed more, I think)

If there is such portion snus I would buy.

How about you?



Moved to Professionals. I like the idea, and it would at least be worth Swedish Match's consideration

That's not a bad idea. The only downside I could think of is extra portion material in your mouth, but that shouldn't be too terrible.

I think that idea should be patented! Getting 48 portions for the price of 24!!
I'm not a fan of ES portions, unless i'm really tired or drunk, so i think these would be great.

Good thinking 99

Thanks for opinions. I think that material could have some perforation at join and at the ends.

Kind of, at least I remember this from Snus Hog:

I'm a bit of a lightweight when it comes to snus, I prefer minis most of the time but don't like paying double for the privilege, I get past this by simply rolling a standard portion between thumb and index finger in the middle of the portion, back and forth along the length, this compresses the two halves into nice equal mini portions, a quick tear and then in it goes, the other half stays together even when alone in a tin and being shaken around. I do this pretty much all the time, takes literally a few seconds, no mess and you get a nice pouch to hold it in (as opposed to using los which I'm not keen on, prefer no mess). Obviously it takes a bit of practice, the key is the direction you roll, along the length not the width. Also good for a more discreet standard dose as you can create two compressed halves and pop one in each side. Works great with long portions like 01 too.

The idea of having it pre-manufactured is interesting.

I agree. It's a great idea. I'm sure it could be done right now with only minor modification to the portion filling equipment, that is, without perforations. I wouldn't mind having to cut them myself.

One can with both Sterks and Mini's. That is a great idea, Mazur!

[GoVegan]

I would definitely buy that. I always feel like I am getting robbed when buying mini portions because they only stick 20 of them in a can.

:shock:

I LOVE IT!!

I love GES and don't always want the whole thing. I was so sad that Mocca + was discontinued too. The Thunder strong minis are ok, but have a different flavor thing going on.

When it boils down to dollars to donuts this idea is WIN! I want discretion and nicotine AND money left in my pocket.

Cool idea!

We will pass it forward and see if it gains traction.

Take care

I could see this being VERY popular in Norway.

The great thing about this idea is the number of snus varieties that could be obtained as a mini.
